A STALKER who tried to win over his former housemate with a McDonald’s breakfast has been slapped with a restraining order.

Danny Gibson also used “racist” language in numerous texts to his victim after she asked him to leave the Waltham Abbey property, Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court has heard.

He must also pay £150 compensation with a £60 victim surcharge.

Gibson was given a one-year restraining order preventing him from going to his victim’s address in Rounton Road nor her workplace in Enfield.

The court heard Gibson, 24, of Southern Drive, Loughton, “pursued a course of conduct” by following his victim, swearing and throwing a can of coke at her, leaving flowers and a McDonald’s breakfast on her doorstep, sending abusive text messages and watching her when she was with a man in a car.

The court was told that Gibson’s mother had left home to live with a black man and, in one exchange, he had told his victim: “You’re just like her.”

Sentencing, chairman of the bench Anthony Brock told Gibson: “This was an awful situation this young lady has been put through. If you breach any requirements or commit any further offences you can be re-sentenced and it could involve prison.”
